The NBA announced the coaches and rosters for this year's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Thursday. This year in Toronto, it will be a little different: the two teams will represent the USA and Canada.
Team USA will be coached by Kevin Hart, who has retired from playing in the game but apparently not from being around and making a lot of noise. The roster: Jason Sudeikis, Michael B. Jordan, Anthony Anderson, Bryshere "Yazz" Gray, Nick Cannon, Chauncey Billups, Muggsy Bogues, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry and WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne.
Toronto Raptors global ambassador Drake will coach Canada's team. His assistants will be Steve Nash and the Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista. The roster: Arcade Fire's Win Butler, Drew and Jonathan Scott (HGTV's "Property Brothers"), tennis player Milos Raonic, actor and singer Kris Wu, Stephan James ("Race"), Tracy McGrady, Rick Fox and Natalie Achonwa of the Indiana Fever.
These are pretty stacked rosters for a celebrity game, and it's not as if McGrady and Billups have been retired for long. Also, I wonder how McGrady, an American, feels about representing Canada. Bogues and Billups are former Raptors, too, but they're playing for Team USA.
The game will take place on Friday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. ET at the Ricoh Coliseum.
